SRINATH'S QUESTION-REPLY FROM ES.MUKUNDAN

[Guest guest]

SRI HARI

DEAR SRINATH,

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. WE HAVE "LEARNED"SO MANY

UPANISHADS AND PRABHANDHAMS THAT EVEN IF AAZHWAARS OR

"RAMANUJA " HIMSELF COMES DOWN WE WILL PROHIBIT THEM

BASED ON THEIR TIRUMAN. IT IS THE HEIGHT OF

STUPIDITY. A FELLOW WHO DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN THE TWO

EYES OF SRI RAMANUJA CAN BE NOTHING BUT AN IDIOT. I

DECLARE THIS BOLDLY. NOBODY HAS RIGHT TO STOP A

PERSON,BE IT SRIVAISHNAVA OR SMARTHA, FROM RECITING

TIRUVOIMOZHI . IN FACT, SUCH PEOPLE WILL BE PUNISHED

SEVERELY BY THE LORD. THE DVESHAM AT TIRUVALLIKKENI

AND TIRUVALLUR IS WELL KNOWN . SO ALSO, AT

KANCHIPURAM.

THE VAISHNAVITES SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THIS AFFAIRS. I

REALLY WONDER WHY SENIOR VAISHNAVITES ARE NOT MAKING

ANY EFFORTS TO BRING BOTH THE KALAIS TOGETHER. I

THINK THE UPANYASAKAS ADD A LITTLE OF THEIR VENOM TO

THE AUDIENCE WHICH PERMEATES THROUGH THE SOCIETY. MAY

BE THE UPANYASAKAS SHOULD STOP THIS DISRIMINATION

IMMEDIATELY. ELSE, ALL VAISHNAVITE TEMPLES WILL END

UP WITH SMAARTHA OR SOME 'OTHER" ARCHAKAS. WHO WILL

BE RESPONSIBLE IN THAT CASE? WE ALONE. NONE ELSE.

 

I SINCERELY THINK THAT PRAYING LORD SRIMAN NARAYANA

AND RAMANUJA IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

I REQUEST ALL THE BHAGAVATHAS TO SINCERELY PRAY TO

SRI RAMANUJA TO ENLIGHTEN US IN THIS REGARD

Dear all,

 

I also agree with Mr. Mukundan you that no discrimination should be made between

devotees be it smarthas or vaishnavas, be it thenkalai or vadakalai, be it even

brahmanas or not. we all know there were azhwars who were not brahmanas. Most

nayanmars were not brahmanas. Didn't the Lord grant them moksha? We should all

be ashamed that such things happen right inside temples. I myself have witnessed

such discriminating acts in tiruvellikkeni temple. I have also witnessed this in

smartha temples. Here I wish to remind you all that I am a smartha myself. I am

very interested in the Upanishads and Vedas and do a lot of study on them. All

of them say, everything emanates from the Brahman. There are verses in the Vedas

that say a man does not become a brahmana simply because he's born in a brahmin

family.

 

I wish to quote Adi Shankara here. He says in his subhashitas - Nethrasya

Bhooshanam Sama dhrustitha. This means equanimity is beauty for the eyes.

 

I only hope people understand these things. People must understand Bhakthi

without Jnana and/or Sharanagathi merely nurtures an ignorant ego. If Bhakthi

and Jnana exist together, it can take a devotee to great heights through

meditation. If Bhakthi and Sharanagathi exist together, then the Lord protects

you as though you were an innocent child. Bhakthi alone cannot get you anywhere.

 

This is my humble opinion. I am open to criticism too.

 

Thanks,

Jayaram Thiagarajan
